Book #17 "The Fantastic 4" an official novelization by Peter David: So I got to tell you I picked this book up at a used book store for like 50 cents because I thought it would probably be a good laugh to read (and also because I really like the movie, so why wouldn't I like the book?) and to be honest I wasn't disappointed but I obviously wasn't all that impressed either.
I mean sure I knew what exactly was going to happen next and to whom it was going to happen to so that was a bit of a downer in itself but it was also kind of a let down when the David started adding just these little parts to fill in the between time that we as viewers don't really notice missing when we are watching the film but the thing was when he was writing these parts it almost felt a bit like he got caught up in the importance of having fill-in parts that he seemed to kind of lose the characters and their personalities. In short he changed the characters for the parts that he wrote but then when he was going word for word with the movie he was back to the original characters. And it's not that he changed them in any major ways it was just the little was he did it that didn't quite seem to match up with everything I guess. But maybe the way he wrote them was more true to how they are in the original comics...I can't honestly say that I know one way or the other.
So in the end it wasn't really anything special but it was still a nice shorter read I guess. For my next book #18 is a re-read for me it is 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen, but I honestly can not help it I just love this book :) nerdy I know. Well I'm pretty sure that is everything. Oh an ending note tho, if you have not seen the 'Fantastic 4' movie it is really good, it is for sure higher up in my list of favorite super hero movies.
That's all for now,
